My New Toy

New Toy
*
I got a new toy! And I loooove her! So obviously here's the obligatory self portrait holding the camera in the bathroom.. I've never had a fancy camera like this before. I've just got to learn how to use it. Everything just looks better black and white, doesn't it?

Yarn Binge
*
I think I got a little carried away at a yarn sale. I bought two skeins of Novita Santorini, and 7 skeins of Red Heart Dallas, 5 of them black. One can never have too much black yarn, right?

Oona's Room
*
I also got some embroidery done. My niece and my mom moved, and my niece wanted a room sign to put on her door. What's an aunt to do? It says "Oona's room" and on the bubble "knock". And she also wanted skulls with bows on their heads. I how I love that girl. The lettering and the bows are done in satin stitch, the bubble in shain stitch and the skulls in back stitch

brook: yeah, I noticed! and it's a good thing too. would have sucked to pay 500euros for a camera and not notice a difference
